During his father, Thiri Thudhamma's reign the Laungkrakca (Rakhine: လောင်းကြက်စား); governor of Launggyet) became an important position in the Mrauk U royal court after a rebellion in 1628. In the waning years of his father's reign, various court ministers became aggressive vying for power based on a prophecy in the Arakanese chronicle tradition that the Mrauk U lineage of kings would end in 1638 CE (1000 according to the Arakanese era).[1]
Reign and successionedit
When Thiri Thudhamma died on 31 May 1638, Min Sanay succeeded the throne and was coronated 15 days later on 16 June.[2] After ascending the throne, Min Sanay suffered from smallpox and his mother Nat Shin Mae advised him to move to "Winzama" , northeast of Mrauk U, for a short period of time to cure his disease.[citation needed] Min Sanay followed the advice of his mother and moved to Winzama. There, he was poisoned to death by his own mother Nat Shin Mae. He ruled the kingdom only 20 days.[inconsistent] According to Dutch factory chief Adam van der Mandere, Sanay died on 26 June one day after he congratulated the new king in Mrauk U. The court blamed it on sorcery that Thiri Thudhamma had cast on his son.[2]
After the death of Min Sanay, Nat Shin Mae enthroned her secret lover Ngakuthala (later Narapati). Many nobles who disagreed her were murdered and some escaped.[citation needed] Narapati was the Laungkrakca at the time of Thiri Thudhamma's death and, therefore, had significant power within the court. Historian Jacques Leider ascribes this chain of events as a coup d'état by the Laungkrakca.[3]
